chinese tea?
when did chinese tea start and what is its history? any health values, popularity, types… thanks
Well this is what wiki has to say:
History:
“According to popular legend, tea was discovered by Chinese Emperor Shennong (Shen Nung, Shen Nong, The Yan Emperor, The Emperor of the five grains) in 2737 BC when a leaf from a Camilla sinensis tree fell into water the emperor was boiling. Not everyone agrees on the origin, but no one disputes that tea is deeply woven into the history and culture of China. The beverage is considered one of the seven necessities of Chinese life, along with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.”
Categories:
“Some writers classify tea into four categories, green, white, black and oolong. Others add categories for red, scented and compressed teas. All of these come from varieties of the Camilla sinensis plant. Chinese flower tea (花茶), while popular, is not a true tea. Most Chinese tea is consumed in China and is not exported. Green tea is the most popular type of tea used in China.
Within these main categories of tea are vast varieties of individual beverages. Some researchers have counted more than 700. Others put the number at more than 1,000.”
Easily put, there are heaps of tea varieties hehehe, some others in more detail are:
* Green tea
* Red tea
* White tea
* Black tea
* Oolong tea
* Pu-erh tea
* Flower tea
* Yellow tea
* Tieguanyin tea
* Pressed tea
* Quick tea
* Medicinal tea
* Kudin tea
* Chrysanthemum tea
Health Values:
I know that green tea and jasmine tea are both great for dieting as they reduce fatty material in food and in the body or something. They get rid of oil and help blood circulation too.
Wiki says:
“Green tea has been claimed[2] to be helpful for atherosclerosis, LDL cholesterol, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, liver disease, weight loss, neurodegenerative diseases, and even halitosis.”
So there you go =D
Hail wikipedia =P
